[6] Because you can’t swim in this swallow pool of tears, you swim outside! It’s so marvellous and impressive, everybody is impressed and all have their eyes on you! However your sick swimming skills attracted a hungry shark! You must roll to dodge!

[5 for Aureum/2 for Shark Warrior] You dodge the swing and deal a ferocious punch to the Shark Warrior's gut, sending him flying backwards into the pool. He hits his head on the side, is knocked unconscious, and drowns. (-1 to next turn).

[6 + 1 = 7] Your longing to escape the shark fills you, and you feel a serene power. In a flash, you are outside the shark, and you feel odd. You check your skin and notice a gray ripple. Is it possible you've absorbed some of the sharks power? (-1 to next turn) (Shark Power, +1 to all swimming-related actions)
[3] You shove a taco into another taco and try to stuff it into your mouth. After a bit of shoving, you swallow a huge bite, and are disappointed to realize that it just tastes like a normal taco, except harder to eat.

[4] You have some fun with your chainsaw sword in the police station, seeing what all you can cut up. You cut the doorknob off of the door before Fool tells you to stop horsing around.
